[Main Branch] [Creating new revisions should be very limited] #389

We don't want to create new revisions on import, or on move because:

Guardian Contract validation logic becomes more complex
Files which are imported are all "outdated" as every file now links to a new revision which is causes the user to think that the data has been changed (which it was because of the new revision).
Causes additional load on the Guardian, as every revision gets verified
Every new revision is shared based on Data-Access-Agreements

Importing non-existing page from Inbox will no longer create additional revisions => https://github.com/inblockio/mediawiki-extensions-Aqua/pull/368 Other cases (when local target page already exists) will be handled much like git, with a "merge" revision created on top of last local revision
